Wednesday, we commuted into Manhattan on the bus, grabbed coffee and walked up to Lincoln Center.
It was much hotter out on Wednesday and I kept refilling my water bottle and then needing to find facilities. :o) Anyhow, we walked through Central Park, past the great lawn...
The boat house...
A lady trying to pose her dogs for photos...
the pond for motorized boats....
And then made our way down to FAO Schwartz...
Then we grabbed a bite to eat at Rock Center, checked out Saks, then found our way to the theatre for our 2 pm matinee of Sondheim on Sondheim at Studio 54. In my opinion it was a kind of slow musical. I know lots of Sondheim so I was expecting to really like it, but I did not. My favorite parts were the video clips of Stephen Sondheim himself speaking which I found quite interesting. The set was cool, but I just missed a true storyline. We both agreed that American Idiot was way better.
We had exciting dinner plans that night at Del Frisco's. Pat and brother-in-law Mike met us for a steak dinner. Unfortunately Maura couldn't join because she was on a work trip. All four of us opted for the amazing pre-fixe: salad, fillet, sides, and dessert. Delicious! When we were leaving we saw Mary J. Blige coming to be seated. She sat just 1 or 2 tables from where we had been sitting. Cool!
I hope I showed E a good time; I sure had fun. Saying goodbye to her at the airport on Thursday was a little sad, but I know she is happy to be back home to her puppy. I obviously needed to get back to work too - very happy to know I'll see my sis again in July!
A couple pictures to show I even got her to puzzle.
Love ya E!
Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend!
